Sans Superellipse Idkaf 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Rhode' by Font Bureau, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle curves and broad, rectangular counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, ink-heavy silhouettes and strong color on the line. Corners tend to be softened rather than sharp, while many joins and terminals stay square-cut, giving a mix of blunt geometry and rounded forms. Proportions favor large internal shapes and a compact fit, with sturdy numerals and simplified, highly legible uppercase construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where a dense, blocky voice is desired. It can work for subheads and captions at moderate sizes, but its heavy color and tight counters make it most effective when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is loud and attention-grabbing, with a utilitarian, poster-ready confidence. Its rounded-block geometry adds a friendly, slightly playful edge to an otherwise rugged, industrial presence, making it feel energetic and bold rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, geometric letterforms built from rounded rectangles and stout counters. It prioritizes strong presence and quick recognition, aiming for a modern, energetic display voice that stays approachable through softened curves.
Round letters (like O and 0) read as squarish superellipses, and several glyphs show tight apertures and deep ink traps-like notches that enhance the cut-out feel. The texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping a uniform, solid rhythm in headline settings.
